§ The result
VidCruiter leads Tengai on 6 of the 7 criteria.
VidCruiter scores 48 and Tengai 42 under rubric v1.0, a 6-point gap across the Video interview and Screening cohorts. VidCruiter leads 6 of the 7 criteria and the remaining criterion is level, so Tengai is ahead on none of them; the closest of the 6 VidCruiter leads is FRIA Support, Tengai 28 to VidCruiter 32. One criterion, Article 11 Technical Documentation, is both the widest raw gap (Tengai 45, VidCruiter 58) and the heaviest weighted swing, and at 20% weight it makes up 44% of the weighted advantage VidCruiter holds across the 6 criteria it leads.

Weighted delta is the raw difference times the criterion weight, so the 6 figures above sum to -5.9 — the difference between the two totals before either is rounded. Shares are of 5.9 points of movement counted without direction. The table below rounds each side to a whole number first, so its Δ raw total reads -6 beside that -5.9.

§ Evidence
Cited sources and documented absences, criterion by criterion.
An absence is a finding, not a blank: the reviewer looked for a named artefact and recorded that it is not located. Where a source sits is a fact about hosting only.
